1971 Hemi 'Cuda Video Muscle Car Of The Week #68 V8TV

[@renek243]

I love a survivor, I like it when there's some grease in the engine bay and some little imperfections here and there, makes them real. too much classic cars are becoming perfect museum pieces, investments never to be used and seen on the road again. This one is gorgeous as it is.

[@Photoshop098]

One of my favorites Shows! Keep the amazing work!:)

Best looking pony car ever. Bar none. Mustang first, GM scramble scramble Camaro, 3 years later 1970 Cuda. Mopar learned from Ford and Chevy, and launched the best looking pony car. Oh to have a time machine right now.

[@hmackprotection1]

Greatest American Muscle Car ever Produced IMO..the 68 Hemi Dart is the meanest, but the 71 Hemi Cuda is the all around Best.

[@jeremythompson9122]

True. The 68 Hemi Dart and Hemi Barracuda are the meanest factory race cars ever but the 70-71 Hemi Cuda and Challenger R/T are the meanest Hemi powered street machines. The 1966-69 Hemi's were probably slightly more powerful because of their solid lifter cam but the 70-71 Hemi's were much more manageable to drive on the street because of the switch to a hydraulic cam in 1970 for emissions reasons. But they still had 10.25:1 compression and they were still the baddest engine on the street even with the milder cam

That car was sold Brand New in Concord CA, that's my hometown. I was 14 in 1971, all of the CLASSIC Muscle Cars were just new cars in my childhood, nobody really thought they were anything other. My dad brought a brand new 65' GTO home in late 64' from MERIDIAN PONTIAC, the "WIDE TRACK" dealer in Concord, he kept it 4 years and traded it in back to the same Dealership on a new 69' BONNEVILLE.....Crazy right??

[@hatman231]

Fortunate enough to be able to ride in a '70 Hemi Cuda one back in 1971 that had been cammed, headered and tuned properly. And I thought my SS Nova was bad.

[@60viking]

I worked in vehicle development at Chrysler engineering from 69 on so being a engine and performance Dynamometer operator, I should have one of these. That was a great place to work.

[@BlacharzOstatniejSzansy]

another great car, thanks

[@dr.feelgood_jokes]

Last year i found a 71 'cuda 340/Auto in Sassy grass & a convertible '70 Challanger 440 4 speed in Burnt Orange literally buriad in a garage. I had been in that garage 100x n never knew until i was sent in to look for a piece to tire machine n found out that were the cars have been since the 90's. And they are still there

[@JohnsRSCamaro]

Best looking year Cuda. This gen looks a lot like a '69 Camaro from some angles.

[@gocubsgo7609]

John's 1968 RS Camaro I thought that as well.

[@Slimjim260]

Awesome Kevin!

[@stardustdreamfactory1947]

I want to buy the '71 Cuda at RK Motors Charlotte and make it a daily driver. They're asking $1.3M for it!

[@chrisk4617]

Love this car so much ! Everything being original definitely makes it special, but if I won the lottery I would buy one all original, and then I would have to buy another and put a 1500hp engine in it

[@slacadjuster237]

THE hero car of Camaros and Mustangs.

[@timatkinson9291]

Nice machine. I like 4 speeds but, I’d take this one.

[@BeThrashed]

Beautiful

[@mattera39]

its real nice for being 45 years old

[@jimmybanta4520]

Sick ❤

[@saifulbahri8257]

mantap, plymouth memang gagah

[@droldsw31]

I always thought that the Dukes of Hazard should have drove the 'Cuda's

[@ericou812]

sir,have you done a video of the chevy costhworth vega?

[@dukeman7595]

What was the price new in 1971 ?

[@SolamenteVees]

I knew immediately this was a California car; no bright exhaust tips poking through the rear valance.

[@krugmeister7301]

I Hope This SEXY HOT CUDA will survive the elements of the today's Roads and the plastic GPS over hype electronic cars of today😬😬

[@sheldonbaggs4634]

Asking are the AMC VEHICLES coming soon

[@jimpage4129]

Nice but it couldn’t keep up with my ‘06 300 SRT 8 with cam & a few other mods on the 372 , 415 hp & 420 ft.lbs. at the rear wheels .

[@alvarohernandez2438]

If that was an all original survivor Hemi Cuda where is the exhaust tips in the rear?

[@Carguy2000-f8p]

It’s a California car. They had no exhaust tips

[@nickshort467]

Yes

[@gregoryjamesaustin]

Weird there is no dual exhaust out back.

[@Carguy2000-f8p]

That’s because it was built in California. The California cars had no exhaust tips

[@ednabraden406]

F survivor restored for me

[@nicholasmaher9175]

Why no through the valence exhaust tips as it should have?

[@larrybrooks7168]

Could have been a California car. Or, ordered with the solid valence. Remember these cars could have been ordered to buyer's desires.

[@nicholasmaher9175]

Yeah it would have to be a California car. I think some other state out North East had some single state emission rules too though not positive. You could order the cars as you wanted within reason, a plain valence was not an option. This is either a mistake or a California car. Chrysler made no mechanisms in place at the dealer or assembly line level to spec a car other than the build sheet and fender tag spelled out.

[@jaywp1977]

Definitely a California car, paperwork in vide showed it was delivered to the original owner in California.

[@hanktorrance6855]

But given that the mandated change in horsepower ratings was from gross horsepower to net horsepower, even if the hemi kept it's compression ratio and everything else, the number is a lie...because net and gross horsepower can never be the same.
